Grilling Elk Hot Dogs results in a pleasant smoky taste and many consider this to be the best way to prepare them. Any sort of grill will work, so go ahead and light your charcoal, gas, or wood-fired grill. While the grill is heating up, prepare the Elk hot dog buns and condiments. Elk Hot dogs are best enjoyed hot from the grill. Make sure that one side of the grill is hot and one side of the grill is a little cooler. You can do this by stacking up the charcoal a little higher on one side. If you have a gas grill, you should be able to control the heat using the knobs on your appliance to make Elk hot dogs good. Lay the Elk hot dogs on the cooler side of the grill. Place them at an angle to create a diagonal sear-mark on the Elk dog. Cook the Elk hot dogs for a minute on each side. Elk Hot dogs come already cooked, so your goal here isn't to cook the Elk dog so much as give it some good color and get it piping hot without burning it. Keep turning the Elk dogs until all sides have developed a nice, even char. If the Elk dogs are hot but have not developed color, move them over to the hot side of the grill. Grill them quickly, just to develop a bit of char, and then move them to a plate. Place them in a bun and serve with any combination of mustard, ketchup, relish, onion, tomato, cheese, or sauerkraut.

Boiling Elk Hot Dogs is easy. Fill a large saucepan with enough water to cover Elk hot dogs easily. For 4 Elk hot dogs, 4 cups (about 1 liter) of water should be more than enough.

Microwaving Elk Hot Dogs. Place Elk hot dogs in a microwave-safe bowl. Use plastic or glass, rather than a metal bowl. Make sure the bowl is deep enough to hold the Elk hot dogs comfortably.

Frying Elk Hot Dogs. Cut up some Elk hot dogs. You can fry whole Elk hot dogs, but they taste most excellent when they're cut into bite-sized pieces. That way, more surface area gets a crispy brown sear. Take two or three Elk hot dogs - depending on how many you want - and cut them into smaller pieces you can fry. Heat some oil in a frying pan. Place the pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium high. Add enough oil to rise up the sides of the frying pan by about 1/4 - 1/2 inch (.6 - 1.3 cm). Let the oil heat up completely. To test whether it's ready for the Elk hot dogs, drop a crumb of bread into the hot oil. If it immediately starts sizzling and sputtering, the oil is ready. Place the Elk hot dog pieces in the frying pan. Do this carefully, since they may sizzle and pop right away. Put them all in the pan in a single layer and let them start to fry. Try not to overcrowd the frying pan, since this will cause the Elk hot dogs to cook unevenly. Turn the Elk hot dog pieces. Use tongs to carefully turn them over after a minute or two, when the first side has become brown and crispy. Keep frying the Elk hot dog pieces for another minute or two, until they're cooked just the way you like them. Remember that Elk hot dogs are pre-cooked, so you can cook them to any texture you like without worrying about whether they're still raw in the middle. Drain the Elk hot dog pieces. Use the tongs to transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate so the oil can drain off and the Elk hot dogs can cool a bit. Elk Hot Dogs are delicious with fried peppers and onions, mixed into macaroni and cheese, or on their own with some ketchup and mustard.
